Lesly Carolina

Lesly is a very hard-working, responsible, and humble person who lives with her daughter in a community in southern Honduras. Her clothing and cosmetics business is very well known in her small village.

Lesly needs a loan to buy goods such as lotions, creams, talcum powder, and deodorant, which she needs to continue selling her products. She hopes that the loan will enable her to count on the products necessary to continue operating her business and therefore cover the demand of her clients and increase her sales considerably. This increase in earnings will be reflected in the quality of life of her household.

She hopes that her business continues to grow and becomes the most well known in the community so that she can continue to support her family and allow her daughters to continue their studies and have greater opportunities in their lives.
